As a hypothetical, if I want to unlock Elite on a mech chasis, I have to level up 3 to Basic. Can they be 3 mechs of exact same variant? For example, instead of buying:
Cicada 2A
Cicada 3A
Cicada 2A (C)
I could instead go with:
Cicada 2A (C)
Cicada 2A (C)
Cicada 2A (C)
...to meet the requirement of "3 variants of same chasis" when unlocking to Elite and Mastery levels wiyh Mech XP?

no, they have to be 3 different varients of the chassis
Also note that in the original example 2A and 2A(C) count as the same variant.This also goes for (P), (I) and (S) mechs.
The good news is that once you've mastered a CDA-2A, if you buy another one (say, for CW or another build), it'll already be mastered. I might have three JR7-Fs, two of which are (C)s.

To expand on what others have said, just so you're clear.
The skills are not tied to an individual mech, but that variant. That is, you're skilled with Cicada 2A's, not the specific Cicada 2A in your inventory. You can sell it, and buy another two years from now, and you'll still have the same skills in it.
Ah okay. So if I wanted a CW dropdeck of four Raven 3Ls, I would need to do something like buy a 3L, 3H and 2x... level all 3 to Elite..then level the 3L to Mastery. Then buy 3 more 3Ls (which would be treated as already levelled up?
Edited by Fenrisulvyn, 15 December 2014 - 02:01 PM.
Only thing I can add is that you can earn XP on trial mechs that you can later apply to a mech you own. You won't be able to spend the XP on leveling up the trial variant but the earned XP is saved.

A couple things:
There's no "3H." If you mean the Huginn hero mech, it's a waste of money to buy a hero just to level, IMO (says a guy who's done that more times than he's proud of).
Also, it's really better to use as much of the 240 tons you're allowed as possible. I'm a pretty dedicated light pilot, but I won't leave tonnage on the table for CW. If you want to run RVN-3Ls in CW, I'd suggest running two and along with a couple big mechs (Stalkers are my first thought).

So I tested the old versus new designs of the SM-Temp model.
The original, unaltered SM-Temp versus the new Torso Mounted designs. Results were interesting!
3 pilots from the plot were used, each possessing their own traits and characteristics. Each was given its own bot personality. These were then duplicated for the Torso Mounted versions, with each version having identical Mech Quirks.
Depicted below: Note that at various attempts I've sat with no mechs, sometimes with mechs coming in by round X, etc.
The Bots using the original SM-Temp models are "Name-Old"
The Bots using the new torso mounted cockpit are "Name-New."
Attempts one through three were done in Solaris Arenas with morphing terrain/pillars.
Bot only testing:
Old SM-temp versus new Torso Mounted Cockpit SM-temps (of significantly inferior BV).
Attempt 1: Round 125, stalemate declared. (I wasn't holding any units so the AI really tore through it pretty fast).
Remaining units: Ota old versus Tai New
Both mechs unable to continue battle due to immobility and lack of sight lines created by pillar raising Ota out of sight.
Last kill: Tai New - killed Noa Old while prone and immobile, just before a pillar emerged to block off sight lines. Performed on turn 51, 510 to 519 seconds into battle.
Attempt 2: Torso-Mounted units decided to do friendly fire. Turns out I forgot to set their teams correctly. Aborted.
Attempt 3: Rounds 3 through 6. Noticing the lack of melee combat, saddened. Of interesitng note: Round 6, Ota-New picks up Tai-New in a bot-driven rescue attempt in mid-combat! Heroic! Round 7, Noa-New who had ejected has to make skill checks to avoid being bogged down in a heavy rain in light gale-force winds. Succeeds. Round 7, Noa-New is picked up and rescued by Ota-New in mid-combat, around the same time Ota-New's right arm armor is completely stripped from enemy fire, in the midst of heavy smoke from SRM-2 smoke missiles. Round 8, Noa-Old, Ota-Old and Tai-Old have cornered Ota-New. Machine gun fire ensues. Ota-New does not return fire; Why? Round 8, Noa-Old and Tai-Old have begun physical attacks. Spot Wielders arms used for punching (c'mon, no using it for zapping?) Crit hit on Life Support (LT). Crit hits on Engine and Sensors. Ota-new is conscious, is he refusing to fight because he is carrying both Noa New and Tai New? Round 8, Ota-New has to make another roll to avoid critical damage due to physical attack. Cargo section is critted. Round 9. Ota is again using weapons. Why did he stop? Defeat ensues: Ota-New dies. Noa-New and Tai-New are trapped in wreckage.

----------
Victory, old designs.
Final Scene:
Attempts 4 through 6 were made without me queued to drop 'eventually' in them so they zipped and zoomed, when completed it was usually in favor of the original designs, though Attempt 5 ended in favor of the new designs due to initially separated units of both sides having an encounter in the city where 2 'New' designs encountered a single 'Old' design, quickly reducing it to 2 Old versus 3 New and from there it was an MWO-style ROFLstomp.
Attempt 7 I had myself queued for a drop on round 30 so I could tick away 'Done' after reading.
The notes: Attempt 7. 2 versus 2, Noa / Ota old SM-temp versus Noa / Ota new SM-temp with torso cockpit Round 5, a 5 damage blow allows a critical hit; Crit to Torso Mounted Cockpit causes Noa-New to eject. Noa makes it. Round 6: Noa-New attempts Infantry Autorifle. Hits Noa-Old. Zero damage dealt. Round 7: Noa-New's Rifle hits again. No damage. Round 7: "MechWarrior Hojuhei Noa Izumi (Noa-New) has been picked up by SecurityMech SM-temp (Noa-Old)." Arrested! Round 8: Ota-New's head is destroyed, Ejection is no longer possible (since the crit for the ejection seat is in the head). Ota-New's mech is still functional due to torso mounted cockpit. Without the head mounted camera, fluff dictates that Ota-New's controls and seat elevate to allow him to see outside with his head physically 'out there' like a commander's tank hatch. Round 10: Ota-New successfully destroys Noa-Old's right arm. Noa-New is dropped! Round 11: Logic issue discovered with Ota-New bot; continuing to attack his original target even though original target is combat ineffective at range. Round 11: Noa-Old and Ota-New engage in melee!

All in all, an interesting set of events. The Torso Mounted cockpit acts as a 1 ton heavier 'cramped cockpit' with no transplast viewport or 'exposure', just camera systems as intended.
The mechs seem capable. What mostly hurt the Torso Mounted designs, was having only 1 MG instead of 2.
Short Version

Round 30, Koniving is deployed in a Noa Torso mounted cockpit version of SM-temp, with prone automatically employed as a 'Spectator that just decides to act'. Round 32, Kon's Noa turns and sprints on asphault into woods without issue. Ota-Old fires twice with his incredible gunnery skills. Hits once, Direct blow. The trees absorb some damage.

The easiest way to figure out how much XP you have for each variant, log into the game, open up the Skills tab then scroll down to the 'mech you own (and/or piloted) and open up the section and it will show you how much 'Mech XP you have for each variant.
As someone mentioned in a comment earlier, Trial 'Mechs earn you 'Mech XP for the particular variant given and as another one explained the (#) after the variant type isn't separate so if you own a 'Mech Variant that is available as a Trial 'Mech and win a battle using one, the x2 daily bonus will go away for both the owned 'mech and the Trial 'mech.
And every 'mech has at least x3 variants that are able to be purchased through the use of C-Bills. But it's entirely up to you whether or not you want to spend MC. The general opinion leans more towards saving MC and using C-Bills if your goal is to master any 'mech available.
Right, I dont plan on always using MCs this way, this is just to get my CW drop deck ready as soon as I can download the game. Victors and Ravens. Im assuming I can do my 25 cadet matches in an MC-bought mech, instead of the trial mechs? I'll go back and playtest them all after my dropdeck is up.

Correct, it doesn't matter what mech you pilot to complete your Cadet matches.Just Git-r-done.

yes you can do your first 25 matches in any Mech but I would advise against buying a Mech until you have finished the 25 cadet bonus matches, I strongly suggest trying the trial Mechs to get a feel for the different Mechs so you do not end up purchasing something you do not enjoy using.
please bear in mind that CW is hard mode, and this game has a steep learning curve as it is. I would strongly advise you at least level up your Mechs before going to CW, or you may be learning to control your Mech while playing against a highly organized team with years of experience, also it would be worth looking for a unit for CW (and possibly to help you learn the game), just knowing you are working with your teammates and that they will help you is great.
Thanks. I've played MW2-4, as well as BZ and MWL Planetary, so I'm hoping that will make it easier for me to get up to speed.
Im looking at those 2 mechs like "...you dont get to choose your first duty station - thats your Victor over there, thats your Raven, learn to love them and.good luck now sign here" Besides, they both look like useful mechs on paper and in the forums so they should work out ok for a drop deck in the short term.
Good idea on levelling. I was thinking of not dropping into CW until I have 4 mechs at Elite. Does that seem reasonable?
You might strongly consider ravens and stalkers, rather than victors. Very strong options and the stalker is far more beastly than you might expect, esp. Once you kit it out yourself.
